The Elco Naval Division of Electric Boat Company at Bayonne, New Jersey produced PT boats for the U.S. Navy during WWII, including the PT-109 of future president John F. Kennedy

In the PT 109, the "Elco" markings are visible on the engine telegraph.

The only existing Elco PT-boat is on display in Battleship Cove in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It was decorated as the PT-109 as a float in John F. Kennedy's inauguration.
